The 7th chapter!!! Whoo!!! I'm on a roll!!!! Poll results came in and it looks like Roxas will bring Namine to the Clock Tower. Enjoy!!! World that Never Was, White Room A scene of chaos greeted Roxas as he entered the room. Scraps of paper were everywhere. Namine was picking up paper shreds from the floor, her eyes still moist with tears. Roxas motioned for Namine to stand up, piocked up a broom nearby, and started sweeping the room. Namine smiled through her tears. "Thank you, Roxas." Namine said. Roxas turned away, blushing. "No problem. Here, take this and wipe your tears." Roxas said as he handed Namine a handkerchief. Namine thanked him again, and dried her eyes. She than gave Roxas back to handkerchief and started picking up pieces of wood and broken tiles. Together, they worked in silence for awhile. After they finished, Namine sat down on the bed and picked up what remained of her sketch book. She looked at it sadly. Roxas came and sat by her side. "I'm really sorry this had to happen to you Namine. If I knew what would have happened, I-" Roxas apologized, but was stopped by Namine. "It's alright Roxas. At least I didn't get hurt." Namine said, smiling. "But-" Roxas began again. Namine placed a finger on his lips, and smiled at him. "What's done is done. We can't change that." Namine said. Roxas turned away. It had been his fault that this happned to Namine. If he hadn't lost his cool and punched Xaldin, none of this would have happened. "Roxas, Roxas, Roxas?" Roxas snapped out of his thoughts and saw Namine shaking him. "Wha...What?" Roxas said, his mind still on his thoughts. Namine smiled as she repeated what she said earlier. " I said, do you want to go to Twilight Town with me. I need to buy a new sketch book. Maybe we could hang out there for awhile before we head back to the castle." Namine said. "Oh, okay. Let's go then!!" Roxas said excitingly. He then stopped and blushed. He had sounded more excited than he thought. Behind him, Namine giggled. She was even prettier when she laughted, Roxas thought as he opened a Corridor of Darkness. They both stepped inside. Namine stepped inside first, followed by Roxas, who looked arould the room carefully before stepping inside. Twilight Town, on top of Clock Tower Roxas and Namine were sitting on the ledge of the clock tower side by side, eating seasalt ice-cream as they watched the sunset. They had bought Namine's sketch book earlier, (with Roxas insisting that he payed for it) bought their ice-creams, (with Roxas insisting that he payed for them again) and made their way to the clock tower. "It's really beautiful isn't it?" Namine said to Roxas, indicating the sunset. Roxas smiled. "It used to be mine, Hayner's, Pence's, and Olette's favourite place. I don't know whether they're still okay....." Roxas mused as he thought of his friends. It had been almost a year since he joined the Organization. He had lost contact with them for a long time. "If your not sure, then why don't you visit them?" Namine asked. Roxas shrugged as he nibbled his ice-cream. "I don't know. Maybe I just don't know what to say when I meet them. It's been a year since I met them." Roxas answered sadly. Namine smiled as place her hand on Roxas' hand. "Why don't you do this?" Namine said as she made a face. Roxas laughed. " Naw, I'll pass. Besides, I have new friends now. You, Axel, the Oraganization...." Roxas said. Namine laughed. " Xenmas is your friend? I heard he gave you two warnings." Namine said. Roxas grimaced but smiled at the same time. "Except Xenmas." Roxas said as he smiled. Then he went into deep thought. There was no denying it now. He liked Namine. But did she feel the same way about him? Only one way to find out. "Namine? Can I tell you something personal?" Roxas asked. Namine looked at him and smiled. "Sure." She answered. Roxas took a deep breath. There was no turning back now. " Namine, I want to tell you that....I like you, and I have never met anyone like you. Do you feel the same way about me?" Roxas asked in a single breath. Namine was silent for a moment, then laughed. She then hugged Roxas tightly. Roxas was lost for words. He didn't expect this. "Oh Roxas, I've waited so long for you to say that. I like you too. But I was too afraid that you would get angry, so I kept quiet. But I always felt that you secretly liked me, and now I know it true. You DO have feelings for me." Namine gushed. Roxas felt like he was floating. "Really? I've alway felt that you secretly liked me too. From now on, no more secrets okay?" Roxas said as he stroked Namine's blond hair. She smiled as she looked up at him. He had never seen such beautiful eyes. He looked at her. She looked at him. They came together slowly, and their lips touched. They kissed. Roxas had never felt so happy in his whole life. They stayed together for a few minutes, then let go of each other. "I love you Roxas." Namine said. Roxas smiled. "I love you too Namine." Roxas said. They smiled at each other, and then Roxas opened a Corridor of Darkness. Hand in hand, they entered the corridor that would take them back to the castle. World that Never Was, Entrance Demyx was sitting on a chair, playing his sitar quietly. Night had fallen, and he was getting sleepy. Guard duty was really boring, he thought as he continued to play his sitar. He checked the clock on the wall. It read 12:05. "Great, everyone's asleep except me," Demyx complained." It can't hurt to take a small nap can it?" Saying that, he leaned on the chair. He fell into deep slumber almost immediately. Outside the castle, a neoshadow watched the sleeping nobody snoring away. Since I can't post a poll. I'll just have to do this. Can you guys/girls help me create a really strong nobody. A REALLY strong one. I have in mind a nobody with the stong points of every nobody eg. The beserkers' strength, the snipers' wraping sills, the socerers' magic skills. Saying that, I bid you people adiu till the next chapter.
